Product Info for Maxim Defense Industries PDX U.R.G. Mil-Spec Upper Receiver

**The Maxim PDX U.R.G ships with your choice of a Standard Mil-Spec BCG to be used with most common M4 compatible lowers, or a PDX/SCW compatible BCG buffer and Spring. image

The Maxim Defense PDX U.R.G is built to handle the fierce demands of the Tier 1 community and designed to install on any Mil-Spec lower receiver. With the PDX™ U.R.G, you dominate close-quarter encounters and achieve maximum energy on target without sacrificing accuracy at distance. At just 14” in overall length and a 5.5” barrel, the PDX U.R.G. is the ultimate choice for when concealment and personal defense is non-negotiable.

The PDX U.R.G. is also equipped with Maxim’s HATEBRAKE Muzzle Booster. This patent-pending device significantly reduces recoil, decreases the flash signature, pushes gasses and concussion waves downrange away from the operator improving overall execution. The PDX U.R.G. uses a Direct Impingement system.
